APERAHAM LINCOLN: Tim Roth Comments

While promoting his new film Selma, actor Tim Roth, who played the chimpanzee warrior Thade in Tim Burton's 2001 take on Planet of the Apes, offered his feelings about that film's climax which revealed the monument to the so-called Aperaham Lincoln. Said Roth to Cinemablend, "I think it was he took over, he took control. [Laughs] I think the idea was when they shunted in time that way, he was the President of the Planet of the Apes. [Laughs] Brilliant, I thought. It’s crazy stuff. I liked it. I had a good time making it. It was in the old style. It wasn’t too much CG trickery."
